  • Patent number: 8737936
    Abstract: An amplitude modulation circuit in a polar transmitter includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a filter, a gm stage, and a calibration module. The DAC is arranged to be coupled to an amplitude modulation signal input in a normal mode. The filter is coupled to the DAC, and the gm stage is coupled to the filter.

  • Patent number: 8564590
    Abstract: Processes and techniques for imparting three-dimensional visual characteristics to images in a two-dimensional space are described. In one implementation, a graphical image is received in a two-dimensional space (e.g., a user interface on a computing device). A shape palette is presented to a user, the shape palette comprising a visual representation of three-dimensional visual information. Based on user markup of the shape palette, three-dimensional visual information is extracted from the shape palette and correlated with the graphical image. The three-dimensional visual information is processed to render the graphical image with three-dimensional visual characteristics.

  • Patent number: 8385235
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of a full division duplex system comprises a receiver, a transmitter and an auxiliary circuit. The receiver receives an inbound RF signal of a first band to generate an inbound baseband signal, and the transmitter up converts an outbound baseband signal by an oscillation signal to generate an outbound RF signal of a second band for transmission. The auxiliary circuit calculates leakages from the outbound RF signal to generate a blocker replica, in which a LNA is coupled to a non-conductive coupling path extended from the input of receiver to collect leakages from the outbound RF signal to produce an induction signal. The induction signal is down converted to perform an adjustment, and thereafter up converted again to generate the blocker replica. In this way, the inbound baseband signal is generated from a subtraction of the inbound RF signal and the blocker replica.

    Abstract: A frequency synthesizer includes a fractional N phase locked loop (PLL), a sigma delta modulator, a phase adjustor and an adjust signal generator. The fractional N PLL generates an output signal according to an adjusted reference signal. A frequency of the output signal is a multiple of a frequency of a reference signal. The fractional N PLL includes a crystal oscillator generating the reference signal and a divider frequency dividing the output signal according to the multiple to generate a feedback signal. The sigma delta modulator generates a control signal to adjust the multiple accordingly. The phase adjustor adjusts a phase of the reference signal according to an adjust signal to generate the adjusted reference signal. The adjust signal generator generates the adjust signal according to an accumulation result of the sigma delta modulator.
